What happens

Neverwhere is an urban fantasy television six-part drama by Neil Gaiman that first aired in 1996 on BBC2. The series is set in "London Below", a magical realm coexisting with the more familiar London, referred to as "London Above". It was devised by Neil Gaiman and Lenny Henry and directed by Dewi Humphreys. Gaiman adapted the series into a novel, which was released in September 1996. The series and book were partially inspired by Gene Wolfe's novel Free Live Free. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
